South Korea Said to Win $6 Billion Wind, Solar Order

Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) — A South Korean group led by Samsung C&T


Corp. will win an order from Canada to develop a $6 billion wind


and solar power project in the province of Ontario, according to


two people familiar with the matter.


The 2,500-megawatt project will include 1,000 wind turbines that


will account for 80 percent of the total capacity, said the people


who declined to be identified before an announcement is made in


Ontario later today. The group comprising Samsung C&T and Korea


Electric Power Corp. will sign the deal with the provincial


government, they said.


The contract would be Korea Electric’s second overseas power


plant order in a month after securing a $20 billion contract on


Dec. 27 to construct atomic generators in the United Arab


Emirates. Samsung C&T, South Korea’s second-biggest construction


company, said on Sept. 29 it was in talks with Ontario to build


wind and solar farms. The order may be worth more than 6 trillion


won ($5.3 billion), the Maeil Business Newspaper said yesterday.


Korea Electric, the country’s largest electricity producer, will


design the project’s transmission system and will be the


operator, said the people. Samsung C&T may complete construction


by 2016, they said.


Samsung C&T spokesman Min Byeong Hoon and Korea Electric’s Park


Young Seong declined to comment on the Canadian contract.
